Multilingual Interfaces for Parallel Coupling in Multiphysics and Multiscale Systems

چکیده
Multiphysics and multiscale simulation systems are emerging as a new grand challenge in computational science, largely because of increased computing power provided by the distributed-memory parallel programming model on commodity clusters. These systems often present a parallel coupling problem in their intercomponent data exchanges. Another potential problem in these coupled systems is language interoperability between their various constituent codes. In anticipation of combined parallel coupling/language interoperability challenges, we have created a set of interlanguage bindings for a successful parallel coupling library, the Model Coupling Toolkit. We describe the method used for automatically generating the bindings using the Babel language interoperability tool, and illustrate with short examples how MCT can be used from the C++ and Python languages. We report preliminary performance reports for the MCT interpolation benchmark. We conclude with a discussion of the significance of this work to the rapid prototyping of large parallel coupled systems.

A Multilingual Programming Model for Coupled Systems
Multiphysics and multiscale simulation systems share a common software requirement—infrastructure to implement data exchanges between their constituent parts—often called the coupling problem. On distributed-memory parallel platforms, the coupling problem is complicated by the need to describe, transfer, and transform distributed data—known as the parallel coupling problem. Parallel coupling is...
متن کاملSome Organising Principles for Coupling in Multiphysics and Multiscale Models
Computational science faces new challenges posed by multiphysics and multiscale, or more generally put, coupled models. These systems are composites formed from separate subsystem models that interact via data exchanges. These data dependencies pose a coupling problem, and on distributed-memory computers, a parallel coupling problem. This paper presents a definition of terms and a set of organi...
متن کاملDynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method
The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
متن کاملMulti-level multi-domain algorithm implementation for two-dimensional multiscale particle in cell simulations
There are a number of modeling challenges posed by space weather simulations. Most of them arise from the multiscale and multiphysics aspects of the problem. The multiple scales dramatically increase the requirements, in terms of computational resources, because of the need of performing large scale simulations with the proper small-scales resolution. Lately, several suggestions have been made ...
متن کاملMultiphysics and multiscale software frameworks : an annotated bibliography
Multiphysics and multiscale modelling and simulation (MMS) is an emerging trend for the analysis and design of complex systems in many domains. As a result, there are an overwhelmingly large number of MMS software frameworks in the literature and market, while a comprehensive account of these is apparently missing. This paper presents an annotated bibliography of MMS software frameworks. A thor...
